Cheese-Making Lesson in Romania

Leontina Giorgio received a cow from Heifer Romania. The cow, Ruji, or Rose, was given to her by Heifer partner organization Bothar Ireland as part of the Milk for Orphans program. The program benefits both farmers like Giorgio, from the impoverished hills of Transylvania in the north of the country, and orphans who receive a portion of the farmers' milk.
